Well, this stinks to high heaven.
Rahm Emanuel forged ahead with his campaign for Chicago mayor yesterday after an elections panel ruled his name can appear on the Feb. 22 ballot, rejecting arguments the former White House chief of staff forfeited his city residency when he went to work for President Obama in Washington.
Six months after moving from Massachusetts to Virginia, I was told I had to change my residency, regardless if I ever intended on returning there one day. Then again, I’m not a power-hungry egomaniac who uses intimidation to get my way either.
What might have been from Chief Justice Marshall 1803:
“The Government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appellation if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.” Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803)
We’ve replaced the British noble ruling class with a new “Central Committee” ruling class. Even this has degenerated into legacy offices such as Bush, or Cuomo, or Kennedy, or Murkowski, or Dodd, or … Old habits die hard.
Some Progressives pigs are more equal than others.
On Christmas Day, a Brave New World DisOrder’s Decree went out: “Our laws are for you to obey and for we, your anointed leaders, to ignore as we take you into our promised Utopia. Hail (insert new leader’s name)
The Democrat Serfs of Chicago will get the government rulers they deserve. Hail Emanuel Hail Obama.
Will Rahm graduate from dead fish to horses heads?
The fix is in, Bob. It’s The Chicago Way ™.
